5. 1 Mile Run (easy pace)

6. 2k Row @5k+8

Today’s Rowing WOD is an opportunity to use rowing as a warmup and cool down.  The deadlifts are for strength and muscular endurance.  Form and speed on the bar should be the focus in hopes of transferring power/skill to the boat.  Push hard in the metcon and get that heart rate and breathing up.  This is the Third practice that the Boston College Men’s Crew Team did with Renegade Rowing.  If you can do this on the water even better!  This practice should take no longer than 2 hours.  Cut out some of the running/rowing if you’re strapped for time.

Post your load and number of reps for the Deadlift, time for the metcon, and splits held for the rowing and running.

Rest Day:

Renegade Rowing Team - Racing at the Rumble on the River

Do you have what it takes to Race?

Have you ever seen an eight racing at top speed?  Are you interested in experiencing that for yourself?  Can you follow?  Can you push yourself?  Can you push others?  Do you have discipline? Will you work hard and find a way to push on even when pain and that little voice inside your head tells you to stop?

Then you should tryout for the Renegade Rowing Team.

For now though, go checkout the Rumble on the River at Community Rowing Inc. in Brighton!  Racing and Live Music on the banks of the Charles River all day long.  Have some fun and checkout this awesome sport we call Rowing.

Here’s the RRT finding some rhythm in the Quad earlier this year…

Mobilize and then go for a walk!

America is an amazing place to call home.  Honor today by working hard in whatever you do and then get outside and enjoy a walk around a lake or along a river if possible.

What Regattas will you go watch this fall?

Fall is a great time to experience the world of rowing.  Every September/October Head Races start popping up all over the place.  Head Races tend to be anywhere from 4-6 km and are usually run in a time trial format.  Go to regattacentral.com to find a regatta near you.  Get outside, enjoy the changing leaves, and cheer on your favorite crews.

Next Sunday, September 14th there will be a regatta at Community Rowing, Inc. in Brighton called the Rumble on the River.  It’s a lot of fun to go watch because there is live music and food in addition to some rowing.
